Obama wins nobel prize

Obama wins nobel peace prize. Why?
Hard to believe that a U.S. President can win a peace prize while engaged in two wars.
Can some one please inform me as to why Obama has gotten a Nobel Peace Prize when he has yet to do what he has gotten the prize for?

Yea, I'd like to know too?

The reality is that he's a flaming liberal, leftist and that appeals to the selection committee.

The reasons given by the Nobel Committee for its choice of Barack Obama for the Nobel Peace Prize mention the UN, international co-operation and nuclear disarmament. This is definitely a step in the right direction, considering Alfred Nobel and his expressions on a "brotherhood among nations" where it would be safe to abolish national armaments. I wish Obama well and admire his diplomacy for nuclear disarmament.

Have you ever heard the quote "Peace through strength"?

Regardless of what anti-nuclear people think, there will ALWAYS be nuclear devices in the world. Do you think North Korea or Iran would join any disarmament treaty?

so its smart to not have nuclear weapons when other countries do?
